Game:Lingering Will: Difference between revisions

In order to fight the Lingering Will, Sora must have defeated Xemnas. Sora should have [[High Jump]], [[Quick Run]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Aerial Dodge]], and [[Glide]] at Level 5, as well as some support abilities such as [[Once More]], and [[Second Chance]], and should pack as much Ethers as he can, and have at least one [[Combo Plus]]. For Sora's Keyblades, the [[Kingdom Key]] is recommended for its [[Damage Control]], though the [[Decisive Pumpkin]], [[Oblivion]], and the [[Ultima Weapon]] are still excellent options.  

The Lingering Will is difficult to defeat. Its most basic moves are attacking with its [[Keyblade]], [[Ends of the Earth]], and can fly at high speeds. The Lingering Will's most basic attack is when he leaps in the air, and dashes through Sora three times. The timing of the dashes are easily predictable, so you can avoid being hit by using Dodge Roll, or [[Guard]]. You should be able to anticipate where its third dash will end, so you can attack it during its third dash. The Lingering Will attacks Sora twice with its Keyblade before turning it into a drill like object and thrust it at Sora. It isn't easy to predict when the Lingering Will is going to actually use this move after running, but you can easily defend your self using Guard, or [[Reflega]]. However, you must be cautious. If you use guard to block the attack, you must wait before attacking. If you start the attack right after guarding, the Lingering Will's drill will take most of your health, and you will be knocked far away from the Lingering Will. The Lingering Will can turn its Keyblade into long whip and swing it around itself, dealing massive damage. Unfortunately, you have a very small perception about when its going to use this attack, but there is a very high chance that he will use it after he dashes though Sora three times, or when receiving massive damage. You can defend yourself with Guard or Reflega, but it is a lot better if you just run away and quickly get close to the Lingering Will as soon as it is landing and attack it with a new combo. However, if you do get hit, do not try to resist with [[Aerial Recovery]] or [[Retaliating Slash]]. Being hit by this attack will leave you with only 1 HP left, if Once More (and preferably Second Chance) is equipped, so don't try to use Aerial Recovery of Retaliating Slash, or you'll die. If you really need to get out of the attack and save your HP, activating a [[Drive Form]], or using [[Trinity Limit]] with [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] are the only ways for getting some invulnerability.

The Lingering Will can also use [[Terra]]'s [[Ultima Cannon]] [[Shotlock]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]'' as an attack. The Lingering Will's Ultima Cannon fires one sphere of energy that homes in on its target and produces a larger explosion than Terra's version. However, the explosion is weaker, it chases Sora around the battlefield, and the sphere can be deflected back at the Lingering Will. However, there are other ways to nullify or evade the move. The easiest way is to Guard when you are a few meters from the Lingering Will so you can deflect the cannon back to it, which leaves him very vulnerable. If he is charging the cannon and you are too far away, then Dodge Roll, or Quick Run against it to nullify the explosion. The Lingering Will can turn its Keyblade into something resembling a bow and shoots 3 deadly projectiles trying to catch you, but keep in mind that it shoots five when low on HP. It is a particularly deadly attack that consist in trapping Sora in a triangular shaped shield that drains his health at a very fast rate. Your command bar changes, and you will have to select the "Release" command in order to break free from the curse. The projectiles can easily be evaded with the right timing of Dodge Roll, or Reflega, and when he turns his Keyblade back to normal form, that is the time to attack. If the Lingering Will's projectile hits you however, the best way to break free from the curse is to glide away while waiting for the "Release" command.
